oh gee...I'm going gluten-free

So yesterday my psychiatrist/therapist recommended that I go on a gluten-free diet. I have a lot of tummy troubles. I basically get stomach sick every day. For some reason it never occurred to me that what I eat may be causing it. Fibromyalgia causes stomach issues, so I thought there wasn't much I could do.

After my session with the doctor I went to Whole Foods to get some things I can eat. Mainly brown rice, black beans, nuts, any veggies, and any fruit. I also need to keep my diet pretty bland and low in preservatives until my tummy calms down.

This morning I had puffed brown rice cereal with fresh strawberries. It didn't have much flavor, so I might try some different combos to make it taste better, maybe add raisins.

Today is a day for cleaning and I might stop at the market to get a few things I forgot to pick up yesterday. Tonight Ronald and I are having our first official gluten-free dinner. Fajita bowls with brown rice, black beans, homemade salsa, sautéed peppers and onions and cheese. I think it will be yummy!

Are any of my readers gluten-free? If so, what are your favorite things to eat?

It might be gluten.. but it could also be high carb intake.I'm off my diet now, more of a lifestyle really, but when I'm doing a low carb/high fat diet I feel loads better.My boyfriend also says when we follow it he feels more settled and with no heartburn.

Well, I'm a wheat-free, even gluten free stuff makes me sick; it is hard especially here in Italy. If I do not eat wheat for 3-4 months, then I can get a way with a piece of bread or cake. I have some really good gluten and wheat free recipes, I can direct you to the webpage, if you like Best of luck

I have been considering going gluten free for a while now because I get tummy troubles daily too (IBS haha...gross I know) and I really have no excuse not to try it because for some reason, we have a lot of local restaurants and delis that serve gluten free. My main issue with it would be my complete lack of cooking skills but with these take out options available, I should go ahead and give it a shot. I'm eager to see how it goes for you! It would be great if you could get some relief for at least some of your symptoms.

Glutten free? really? ugh, as if you don't have enough to deal with. Can you try black beans with salsa? that might be good with brown rice? I am so sorry you have to go through all of this. I can tell you black beans go well with avocado if it helps

I'm not gluten free... I have wanted to go gluten free because I have a lot of tum issues as well, IBS.. but I'm bad at committing.OMG that dinner sounds amazing! I just texted Joe and said I want that for dinner.
